POWER OPTIMIZER & PROCESSOR C-STATES

Intel Power Optimizer increases periods of silicon sleep state across the platform ingredients, including the CPU, chipset, and third-party system components, to reduce power.

OVERCLOCKING

On select products, CPU/graphics and memory can be run at frequencies above the rated frequency of the part resulting in higher performance.

SECURE KEY

Security hardware-based random number generator that can be used for generating high-quality keys for cryptographic (encryption and decryption) protocols. Provides quality entropy that is highly sought after in the cryptography world for added security.

TRANSACTIONAL SYNCHRONIZATION EXTENSIONS

TSX-NI is a set of instructions focused on enterprise-level multi-threaded performance scaling, making parallel operations more efficient via improved control of software threads and locks. This offers performance benefits for enterprise-level big data analytics/business intelligence and visualisation apps, which involve multi-user collaboration. Available on the Core i7 and Core™ i5 processors with Intel vPro technology and unlocked processors.

DEVICE PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY WITH BIOS GUARD

Intel BIOS Guard is an augmentation of existing chipset-based BIOS flash protection capabilities targeted to address the increasing malware threat to BIOS flash storage. It protects the BIOS flash from modification without platform manufacturer authorisation, helps defend the platform against low-level DOS (denial of service) attacks, and restores BIOS to a known good state after an attack.

OS GUARD

Intel BIOS Guard is an augmentation of existing chipset-based BIOS flash protection capabilities targeted to address the increasing malware threat to BIOS flash storage. It protects the BIOS flash from modification without platform manufacturer authorisation, helps defend the platform against low-level DOS (denial of service) attacks, and restores BIOS to a known good state after an attack.

VMCS SHADOWING

Intel BIOS Guard is an augmentation of existing chipset-based BIOS flash protection capabilities targeted to address the increasing malware threat to BIOS flash storage. It protects the BIOS flash from modification without platform manufacturer authorisation, helps defend the platform against low-level DOS (denial of service) attacks, and restores BIOS to a known good state after an attack.

OPTANE MEMORY TECHNOLOGY

Provides performance improvements as well as fast app response times for system acceleration and responsiveness

PCI EXPRESS 3.0 INTERFACE

Offers up to 8 GT/s for fast access to peripheral devices and networking with up to 16 lanes. PCI Express ports can be configured as x1, x2, x4, x8 and x16 depending on motherboard designs.

CONFLICT FREE

“Conflict-free” means “DRC conflict-free”, which is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission rules to mean products that do not contain conflict minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold) that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries.
